CHICAGO—A federal judge in Chicago says he dressed as a nun to help him find a defendant guilty of bank robbery.

Navahcia (nah-vah-CEE'-ah) Edwards and her fiance, Lyndon Wesley, were accused of robbing a Palos Heights bank in May 2011 wearing nun masks. The Chicago Sun-Times reports (http://bit.ly/VIXnU7 ) that bank tellers said they could see the robbers' skin through the masks' eyeholes, and identified them both as African American.
